5. TCUBUZZ: The Frogs, who run a 4-2-5 set, return their two starting safeties from last season and have plenty of confidence that Greg McCoy and Jason Teague can fit in seamlessly as first-year starters at cornerback.

6. FLORIDABUZZ: The Gators lost a first-round pick (CB Joe Haden) and a third-rounder (FS Major Wright). But it should be a speedier unit this season, and the safety tandem of Will Hill (free) and Ahmad Black (strong) should be the best in the nation.

8. OREGONBUZZ: Thanks to guys such as John Boyett, Eddie Pleasant and Marvin Johnson, no team anywhere is deeper at safety. The Ducks had some growing pains in the secondary last season, which means this is a deep unit this season.
